What is Famously Unfit… for Sport Relief 2018?

Famously Unfit for Sport Relief follows four celebrities as they embark on a muscle-grinding mission to regain their fitness while trying to inspire the British public to do the same and get active for Sport Relief.

The famous foursome have all acknowledged their personal struggles to keep in shape so as well as fighting their own personal battle, they test the latest science which suggests getting fit in a group is much easier than doing it on your own.

Helping the celebrities on their way, are former Olympian and sports scientist Professor Greg Whyte OBE and Trust Me, I'm A Doctor's Dr Zoe Williams.

The show also features visits to two Sport Relief funded projects in the UK.
